Sound Design / Re: What is Granulizing?
« on: February 25, 2016, 01:08:22 am »
when you play a sound, it's a series of individual grains played in succession. imagine each individual grain is a snapshot of the sound - it will play the frequencies of the sound at that given point in time. when you stretch a sound but keep the pitch the same, the reason why it has that metallic resonance type sound (called an audio artifact) is because the sound is trying to not leave space (silence) inbetween the grains. if you stretch a sound waaaaaaaaaay out, you can really hear each individual grain of it.

i like to do super syncopated rhythms that completely contrast the main rhythm of the song

double the vocal channel, slightly offset the two and have them each panned to a different side

R&A Graveyard / Re: some way to search the forum

There is a Search in the top nav bar under the forum name.
oh shit, didn't even realize.
in that case maybe the search bar could be made a little more prominent so idiots like me dont miss out on its existence

Sound Design / Re: What's the weirdest sound you've created?

I made a Reaktor patch that turns circuit hiss on soundcard inputs into feedback drones... the patch listens to how loud it's getting, and adjusts the feedback to stop everything actually exploding. Sounds kind of radiophonic?

this is fucking nuts

R&A Graveyard / some way to search the forum
« on: January 10, 2016, 05:23:16 pm »
i think it would be extremely useful to add some sort of search bar/tool to look for a keyword in the forum (didnt look to see if this has already been suggested whoops). that way it would be much easier to see if there's a preexisting thread answering someone's question rather than there being repeat posts.

most of my sound design is made by recording sounds with my h4n, importing the audio, stretching/delay/distortion, then bouncing the audio and putting a different fx chain on it (rinse +repeat). the growls in telltale i did in serum by modulating a vocal formant wavetable by an electric guitar, then putting sine amp modulation on the individual growls to give each a different characteristic/quality. the synth in nightmare shit is a restretched telephone fm pattern and the growly things are guitar pick foley samples with sine amp modulation

https://soundcloud.com/neoesoteric/on-sum-nightmare-shiiiiiitt https://soundcloud.com/neoesoteric/the-telltale-heart-ex-nihilo/s-8jZ0e these have some of my most bizarre sound design that i've used in tracks (made through resampling) but ive gotten some even weirder stuff by putting executable files into audacity and processing the shit out of those

Sound Design / making squarepusher/tipper leads?
« on: January 08, 2016, 09:57:48 pm »

« on: January 06, 2016, 02:13:05 am »
production has become much more exciting ever since i started incorporating foley shit into my tracks. what are your guys' favorite foley samples/packs? anyone record their own? (my h4n is my best friend at this point)
